It is difficult to guess what the argument is without the context of knowing more about the Mormon back story.
Why is it so important what a group of people knew or could have known?
For example ... I presume John Smith was in the U.S. And he wrote a book with lots of Middle Eastern influences. ...so? Why couldn't someone in the U.S. (an immigrant from Europe no less) have information about ancient cultures?
Joseph Smith wasn't an immigrant from Europe, though he could have had help from someone who was.
